Ok I'll repeat myself.

Cree DO NOT make bicycle front lights/headlights. They manufacture LED chips and circuit boards.

What you are buying here is a product of questionable quality and even worse, an unknown LIPO battery also of questionable quality.

The video clearly demonstrates that if you attack a LiPO battery with a claw hammer problems may occur. It does not prove anything about quality.

I have two of those and they are very good

 

[young Ed]

sorry yes i realise only make the led's/chips but everyone just calls the light i linked to the cree t6 as when you type that into google or ebay most of the listings look just like that so i am guessing they all come out of one great big Chinese factory?
and many people on here and elsewhere have had great experiences with these

No but it does show was can readily happen to lipo batteries. It's a chance you take

@T.M.H.N.E.T
may i not recommend smashing your finest duracell battery with the claw side of a claw hammer
and yes it is indeed a risk i take then but having seen just how many people on here and elsewhere use them carefully with smashing them to pieces and haven't had any problems i am fairly confident in taking this risk
Cheers Ed

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Ok

 

[young Ed]

sorry, not trying to be rude or anything and i do appreciate you looking out for my and others safety, at the same time just trying to say where my view on the whole exploding and burning batteries matter is and that i am indeed aware that there is a certain risk involved

once again sorry if i came across as rude or obnoxious, it was not intended
Cheers Ed

@young Ed ask @potsy, @fossyant or @I like Skol for more comprehensive advice, possibly before clicking "buy"

 

[young Ed]

was just about to order but thought i would check to see if anyone has replied so will wait for these people to reply and then see what they say
Cheers Ed

Your best option is to buy the lamp from china and get a battery and charger from the uk. You can get replacement batteries from 7dayshop and candbseen.

The batteries just generally pack in. One cell usually fails. They tend to use lower capacity cells.

 

[fossyant]

That uk seller looks ok.
